Answer:

You can, but you'll probably regret it after the first rainfall ruins them.
extremely tough subject look using search engines like google that will could help
Some tiles are rated for indoor or outdoor use. Others aren't. Check with the place you bought them from to find out. If not, they will rot and deterioriate quickly.
Better to use an out side rated tile such as a frost proof tile. But if you live in a warmer climate ( non freezing) you can. In a path way the tiles do need to be rated for foot traffic. This so you don t get sued in a slip and fall.. Rain will not harm tiles at all .. Well maybe acid rain after years and years of exposure.Rain would only effect the bonding material if you use any thing other than a thin set. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
